Snail stairs, when and why choose them

The spiral stairs have numerous admirers and in fact if well designed and made they can become design objects with an unfair charm, they also respond very well to the need to connect two floors by saving space and while giving personalities and originality to the environments.

An element of furniture that is at the same time functional and allows you to save space is something truly appreciable.

Snail stairs, when and why choose them

The Rizzi spiral stairs, for example, a well -known leader of the sector, have numerous advantages both from a functional and aesthetic point of view and also on the usability front. The first and most evident strength of this solution is to be able to connect two floors by reducing the space involved and therefore optimizing the remaining one to the maximum.

Important advantage for all and in particular as of course for those with habits with contained sizes.

When you need or simply you prefer to optimize the spaces of the house, opt for a spiral staircase can prove to be an excellent choice. Without a doubt, the necessary volume will be much more contained than for example to that of a linear open staircase.

The spiral stairs then, as mentioned, are fascinating design elements and therefore many choose them even in spacious environments or in any case in contexts where there are no particular spatial problems.

With its characteristic sinuosity, the spiral staircase, in addition to satisfying functions and logistical needs, proves to be an elegant element of furniture with a strong personality. A scale of this type always has a significant aesthetic impact and if you opt for an original and tailor -made solution you can define every detail and transform the staircase into an element that will dress the environment in a unique way.

You can make wooden, concrete, glass, steel or combinations of these and other materials. The stairs can also be enriched with original elements and accessories, such as LED lights, painted in a wide variety of colors and be very sober or if you prefer decidedly flashy.

They can become a design element with a sober and elegant style, as well as giving a touch of creativity and perhaps even eccentricity to every interior.

Among the most used and appreciated materials today in the interior furniture there is undoubtedly wood. Warm, natural and alive material, able to age and evolve over time. A wooden spiral staircase can prove to be a piece of furniture, as well as a functional structure, perfect for giving personality to a house, contributing to the definition of a welcoming space. Based on your preferences and specific needs, you can opt for various types of wood, such as beech, oak or teck.

For the most modern and perhaps minimal environments, it could prove to be a winning choice to install a spiral scale. A transparent structure, at least in part, a fascinating and ethereal design element. The glass is perfectly combined with numerous materials and a staircase of this type can prove to be the winning choice for not very bright and perhaps even very small environments.

A great classic, which we can define timeless, are then the iron spiral stairs. They adapt well to different types of furniture and are perfect for those who love industrial style or want to play with refined and rich contrasts.

For those looking for volumes that best express concepts of plasticity and solidity,

a concrete scale could give good satisfactions. Even in combination with other materials these stairs can become a furnishing element with a strong impact and be extremely customizable in shapes and finishes.

Another contemporary, more and more appreciated solution is then that of the steel stairs, material, which goes very well with glass, as well as with wood.

In addition to the choice of materials and finishes, it is very important if you are considering the insertion in the house of a staircase clarifying a substantial difference, the one between spiral staircase and helical scale. In fact, this is not the same thing, as some believe.

The helical scale is basically an evolution of the classic spiral scale, which has introduced some structural and functional improvements. Some differences are also there also on an aesthetic level, but perhaps the data of the greatest interest concerns the size of these stairs, which as we have often said are also chosen because there are limited spaces available to connect two levels.

The spiral staircase has a central column that supports its structure, while on a helical staircase everything is supported by two propellers (one internal and one external).

The structural diversity is remarkable and translates into different sizes. The helical stairs can reach larger, even reaching 3 meters in diameter, while the spiral stairs in general have a diameter of about 2 meters or a little less. This makes them perfect for those who want to save space, but in some cases somewhat uncomfortable, such as when we want to use them to move furniture or appliances from one floor to another.
